Ties all-time rookie goal leader Schaefer scored a goal Thursday in a 5-3 win over Toronto on Thursday.

Impact Schaefer's dominant season continues. The goal is number 23, which ties him with Brian Leetch (1988-89) as the all-time NHL rookie defenseman goal leader all-time. And he's only 18 years old. Schaefer has 59 points, 108 blocks, 209 shots and a plus-16 rating. We repeat, he's just 18. This kid isn't even legal to drink in his native Ontario (Canada), let alone on Long Island, and he already sits in a tie with Jakob Chychrun for 11th overall in scoring from the blue line.
